New wheels and little stance change....
Wanted to get a little meaner look with the 69 so I ordered a set of Rushforth Live Wire's with a matte black centers and polished hoops from Jon@Driverz Inc. I also added the SPC lower control arms which lowered the front another inch. What do you guys think?

FYI, if you guys are not using Jon at Driverz for wheels and tires you are crazy. This guy goes so far out his way to help his customers out its insane. By far the best customer service out there.

IMO it looks great... but the back could come down enough to match the fender to wheel distance with the front.

Otherwise looks good!Todd S.

I knew somebody would say that. I think the picture is a little deceiving and makes the rear look taller than it is. Before I lowered the front the front almost looked higher than the rear.

I think that looks pretty sweet man. Better than some chromey bling bling crap.
Good choice.

New wheels look great.. It does appear to have a lil azz end up look. Prolly the pic. The rockers to ground is what Im seeing. An inch lower in the rear would level her out. But Ill bet yer as low as you want to go, she looks low. Car looks good. JR

Ya she is as low as I can get without running into issues. I am still working out the kinks on the front end. I wanted to bring it down 1" but it is closer to and 1.5". In order to level it out might have to come back up .5". Getting the stance right is turning into one major PITA.

very cool. I do agree that the back looks a little high but geting the right stance isn't easy.

Wow, that looks great! What suspension are you running out back? I agree another .5~1.0 inch lower rear will be killer.

Thanks guys. Tire sizes for the fronts are 245/40/18 and the rear is 275/40/18. Rear suspension is a stock setup with the shock relocated and DSE 2" lowering leafs with delrin bushing. I love the way the front sits now but I think it is just to low. The fender is just above the wheel almost full tire tuck and rubbing is going to be an issue. Going to have to raise it up another .5" to an 1" and see how it looks.
